About “Dream of Time”

From the San Francisco Book Review (October 2013) Dream of Time By Nancy J Price Synchronista LLC, $16.99, 424 pages, Format: Trade Star Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Robin is a single mom in the 21st century. Life with her two kids is business as usual: hectic but manageable. However, when she starts to have unsettlingly realistic dreams about living in turn-of-the-century San Francisco, that all changes.

However, the last half of the book is wonderful, and the ending is beautifully written and perfectly wraps up the story. Fans of books like The Time Traveler’s Wife should love Dream of Time. If you like the historical fiction, romance, or time-travel genres, this book should definitely be first on your reading list. It’s a relaxing book, great for a solitary evening in with a nice cup of tea or for taking to the beach to read under an...
